“So cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a fox…”

If you remember my cunning genius plan was to sell my Vareo and buy a new boat – and currently it’s well underway. Its getting picked up at the weekend, having been sold on eBay. Some people can be a bit sniffy about this but the bottom line is you get your boat sold quickly for what the market is prepared to pay for it, so you can get on with the rest of your sailing season.

So I went to look at a new boat this weekend. This didn’t go so well in that this quickly changed to touching new boat, stroking new boat and identifying that new boat and I were always meant to be together, swiftly followed by buying new boat.

It’s on my drive. I am very excited.

I am just as excited as I am suddenly ‘one of the gang’ people with the same boat are excited about it too and discussing when we are all going to go sailing together and how we are only one boat off our own class start. We are messaging exciting news about the boats and our sailing, texting and facebooking.

I’ve never been one of any gang, ever! We are all going to a coaching day next Sunday and going to inspect each others boats and do tinkering! We are going to stand around and talk about it all together! We might even get them wet! It’s we and not I!!

So far so good. Only problem is, I’ve bought a boat to sail with a fleet at… Kielder! Looks like I’m back racing there again! So I am still on the lookout for a cheap boat (for cheap boat read floating wreck based on the pennies I have left…!) to join a Wednesday fleet at South Shields.

And the boat? Well someone has to encourage the Mr onto the water – I’ve bought a Supernova, the same as him.

Its not a car, its a boat.  Honest.

      • If you can knit, you know knots. I once had a dental technician who worked me over three times a year, adjusting my braces expertly with her fast, precise hands. I asked her if she worked on her own car, and I was right: she worked on all her friends’, too!

  1. Hi, I do think this is an excellent blog. I stumbledupon it 😉 I’m going to come back once again since I saved as a favorite it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue to guide others.

  2. Hi there great website! Does running a blog like this require a large amount of
    work? I’ve no knowledge of coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I simply wanted to ask. Appreciate it!

  3. Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like
    to shoot you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

  4. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it
    to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  5. I am no longer certain where you are getting your information, but good topic.
    I needs to spend a while studying much more or understanding more.
    Thank you for great info I used to be searching for this info
    for my mission.
